In the short time Puredistance M has been on the market (since December 2010) many bloggers and users have already been writing about this special fragrance. We selected some comments from M-users who expressed their thoughts on a forum on the internet.
The Beck – USA: “M opens with a nice bergamont lemon combo leading into very subtle nice carnation floral. The lemon really never goes away, constantly refreshening the carnation. The dry down is spicy, woody, resinous and balsamic with a touch of very soft leather. There is no WOW FACTOR with “M”, just a consant whisper. Listen close and you’ll fall under its spell. Is it worth the money? Absolutely, fragrances like this are rare treasures.”
MikeNY – New York: “My bottle/ vial arrived today after three weeks of waiting. With the first spray I was very let down, probably because it was not what I expected. Five minute later, my nose opened up, my mind opened up. It hit me and I was moved beyond words. This is one of the most gorgeous fragrances I have ever smelled. It’s operates at the same volume as Windsor, living up to it’s own motto of “quiet strength.”I’m lookin forward to seeing how this progresses throughout the day, but so far: stunning!”
SoGent – USA: “FINALLY received mine today on the 2nd try. A single spritz around noon & it’s still going strong.This will be / is an instant classic & just may be about as close to perfection as a perfume can reach – nothing else will surpass it.
NineXseven, New York: “Got my sample two days ago. I’m not usually one for modern niche fragrances but M is un-friggin-believable! Roja Dove has blown my mind. A bottle has been ordered (and I almost NEVER buy modern niche, especially not at full retail).
‘It’s a gnarly brew of leather and spicy notes with a not-so-subtle animalic undertone. It’s potent, it’s smooth and it’s got some serious, serious funk. One dab on my wrist – a single drop – and I was clearly smelling M a full 20 hours after application. It’s too bad they didn’t offer this in a splash as I’d prefer to dab my parfums but whatever. I’m imagining two sprays and they’ll be smelling me two towns over.’
Buzzlepuff, Central Oklahoma: “Thanks for talking up M by Pure Distance- it is quite simply a fantastic fragrance. It has the softness and depth of Invasion Barbare, but I am much more attracted to it because of the leather base. It has the complexity of many Amouage fragrances with incredible balance of ingredients. The intensity of just one spray reminds me of the best attars or mukhallats I’ve tried – M is even better. An instant classic.”
Anonymous Review at the Lucky Scent website: “When people say that M makes everything else obsolete, I am afraid that is very close to the truth. From the very first whiff till it fades away (up to 24 hours later), this is an experience of constant astonishment. And just as much – constant, giddy delight. Of course, I will still wear other favorites. But M inhabits that rarified air of very few others – Gobin Daude Nuit Desert and Guerlain Derby come to mind (in terms of quality, not scent). The price is initially off-putting, but the 18ml bottle is easily the equivalent of many 100ml edp’s. The very tiniest little drop last all day, into the night, and into the next morning. Like I said, constant astonishment. This is the real deal.”
